About me: I have been making graphics since 2007 and visual art for most of my life. My designs range from billboards to videography and I have utilized a variety of software from After Effects to Publisher. Why you should hire me: I am a passionate, driven individual that takes detailed direction and develops creative solutions under tight deadlines, formulating high quality designs either by working independently or as part of a team. What sets me apart from other designers: The high quality of my work and my outstanding work ethic makes a lasting impression. How I exceed expectations: I am willing to go above and beyond ordinary expectations to create the extraordinary. How I handle a crisis: I am a focused, hyper-organized, detail-oriented individual that approaches a project in a methodical fashion with attainable results that is willing to dedicate as much time necessary to achieve the goal. How I interact with clients/employers: Each individual is greeted with a positive and enthusiastic attitude. I follow directions closely, keep the lines of communication open and use my creativity and problem solving aesthetics to develop memorable work. My previous supervisors would say this about me: I am efficient, positive and enthusiastic about the work I do, easy to get along with and helpful. Definition of exceptional design: Like art, design conforms to aesthetics: such as elements (line, shape, color, value, texture, space) and principles (pattern, rhythm, proportion, balance, unity, emphasis). As a designer, I take the structure of art and utilize technology to create outstanding pieces. My immediate goals: It is my dream to provide a service engaging in graphic design, something I thoroughly enjoy. My aim is to find gainful employment as a designer and collaborate with a winning team of professionals that utilize technology, skills and expertise to produce a variety of cutting-edge designs.
